Superman Man Of Steel

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

There's Superman and then there's everyone else. That's how I look at it.

Me too


I think the footage was taken down but I have it up on my You Tube channel now so here it is embedded. I did rename it like the original but I went with the code name Superman Returns was filmed under instead of the "Monkey's on Steroids".

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

Zod, Doomsday, Brainiac, Darkseid. That's four off the very top of my head.

I am so glad that Zod is going to be the main baddy, I don't think I could take Lex Luthor as the main villain again. If they decide to bring him in the second or third film than I'm ok with that. After Smallville and the past Superman movies, I wouldn't mind seeing some more of Superman's rogue gallery even though he has one of the weaker set of enemies imo. We could see Doomsday, Braniac, Bizarro, or Darkseid which would be quite cool in any of the sequels.

I still think that Superman's rogue gallery is on the weaker side vs. other superheroes across DC and Marvel. All the ones you mentioned and I pretty much mentioned make up Supes major villains give or take a few that I left off.

I'm hoping that MOS does very well, this stop and restart with Superman kind of sucks. I enjoyed Superman Returns for what it was and Brandon Routh did a good job in the role. In many ways I am glad about the reboot, I did hate this Superman had a baby with Lois that he was unaware of.

Yeah I liked Returns and Routh I really thought he nailed both roles. I would have liked to have seen what Bryan Singers 3 film plan was I know his sequel did involve Braniac. Before Returns though it had been 18 years since the last Superman movie, but under Singers story line he was picking up 5 years after Superman II so in that 3 and 4 never happened. As great as the original Donner film was and Returns was paying tribute to it and Chris Reeve its going to be nice to see a reimaging of Superman on film. Even Smallville was some what based off the Donner universe.

That was one thing that I had found cool was that Singer was continuing Returns off of Superman II 5 years later. Superman III wasn't too bad since I like Richard Pryor, but boy was Superman IV atrocious. I guess there is an extended cut out there of Superman IV which helps the film. I don't think the Anthology on Blu-ray had this extended cut.

Back to Returns, Brainiac would of been cool to see in a feature film since he wasn't done justice on Smallville. Same goes with Doomsday in Smallville.

Yeah IV was bad and the Blu-Ray Anthology doesn't have the extended cut it's only in stereo also no 5.1 dolby . Here is the plot I read for Singers sequel also rumored to be named Man Of Steel

Spoiler

TMS started just a few years after the incidents that we saw in Superman Returns. Kal-El is doing what Superman does best, Lois Lane is raising her kid Jason, who of course is Superman’s child and the world is getting use to having Superman back.

Now there are storyline threads that go back to Superman Returns, one is the on going plot of Superman’s original reason of going back to Krypton. He has always wondered if he truly is the last Son of Krypton.

Remember new Krypton that Lex created with crystals he stole from the Fortress of Solitude and Kryptonite that Supes launched into to space that nearly killed him?

So new Krypton continues to grow in space and has become an almost perfect sphere. It is now the size of a small moon.

Besides giving Humans something to admire at night, Earth new satellite has also brought some unexpected attention from a galaxy far, far away.

A massive spaceship arrives Earth’s orbit, Superman flys up to meet the spacecraft and we are introduced to our out of this world visitor.

Superman quickly finds out that our visitor is also a Kryptonian survivor who has been traveling the known galaxies and was able to detect Kryptonian technology thanks to our new green/black satellite that has started to orbit the Earth.

Superman finally has found a Kryptonian buddy and starts showing him around the planet, a planet full of problems, disease, famine, crime and nations at war with each other.

Our new Kryptonian friend asks Superman why, with all his power, is he not changing the world for the better. Why is he not getting rid of famine, disease and war? Of course fans know that Superman has always been told, or better said instructed, not to interfere with Earth’s development.

Superman explains that he is not allowed to interfere but his Krypto buddy tells him that with their powers they are required to “interfere,” Superman disagrees.

Krypto buddy decides to take charge and starts “interfering” from day one. One of the first things that he does is get involved in a political mess that is heating up between two third world nations.

War breaks out between these two nations but before any real battle breaks our Krypto buddy interferes and lays waste to these two Armies.

He declares to the world that he will not allow anymore wars and/or the destruction of our planet. He is declaring a “War Free” planet and for those who disagree he will have to deal with them.

The major nations of the planet applaud his actions and all agree to an immediate worldwide peace. In return he promises to share technology, fight hunger, famine and disease.

The population of the world rejoices and any small pockets of resistance is quickly squashed by Krypto buddy or even the world governments.

Superman has now become a pariah, the way the world sees it, he has been here for years and had kept technology that could have saved many of the worlds problems.

Superman starts getting a bit suspicious of Krypto buddy and decides to go talk to him. He goes to his spaceship and has a revelation. This massive ship is full of hundreds if not thousands of identical bodies aboard, yep, clones of Krypto buddy, in stasis.

So Superman digs a bit more inside the “computer” system, which is familiar to him since it’s Kryptonian technology just like the Fortress of Solitude.

Superman finds out that Krypto buddy is actually an artificial intelligence from Krypton that has evolved since the destruction of their world.

He escaped Krypton just like Kal-El did and his real name is Brainiac. He has been going from planet to planet, taking their technology, helping these worlds reach a relative perfection and then he destroys them and moves on.

Superman also finds out that he was actually responsible for the destruction of Krypton and tries to warn the leaders of the world but is confronted by Braniac. A massive battle ensues and Superman is about to defeat his foe but right just before Brainiac downloads his conscience into one oh his other clones.

Superman realizes that he must destroy this massive ship along with all the clones aboard. After another massive battle he is able to disable the ship, destroy the clones and the new Braniac but right before the ship is destroyed the Braniac main frame does a local search for another body that he could download in to, it has to be Kryptonian, and he finds another one on Earth, Superman’s kid
Jason White.

So Brainiac uses Kryptonian technology and beams/download itself into Jason’s body and this causes causes him to age and grow into a full adult but with Brainiac in complete control.

Superman realizes what just happened and rushes to confront his very own son who is now possessed by Brainiac.

Is Jason still there or is it all Brainiac? It’s all Braniac and Superman knows what he has to do, he must defeat Brainiac at all costs or the planet and it’s inhabitants will be doomed.

It’s a battle between two gods but Superman has already been run ragged and beat down pretty bad in his previous battles of the day. Brainiac has the upper hand and Superman is trying to not to do any permanent damage to Jason’s body.

Every time Brainiac is defeated in the past he simply tries to download to another clone and leaves that body completely brain dead but with no other bodies left, will Jason survive? The answer in no.

Thanks for posting the original plot on the sequel to Returns. Yeah, you are correct that it was also going to be called The Man of Steel. I really liked where they were going with this, until Supes son Jason is involved again. Supes was never supposed to have kids and they go this stupid route in the movies.

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

Supes was a creeper in Returns, though. It was hard to root for him in a lot of instances.

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

Man, if you guys are gonna hate on Superman at least drop some knowledge other than "he's too strong" and "I think he only has 2 good villains."

And most of the time, the same people praise Batman because he can beat anyone (even Superman) because he's such a genius mortal who, given enough preparation time, can beat anyone.

I'm not much for flying superheroes, at least not on the movie screen.

I like Iron Man for Tony Stark. Anything Iron Man related involves the fact that he has some cool gadgetry, including Jarvis. Neo (if he counts) doesn't really use flying as one of his bigger fighting tactics. I like his martial arts.

I'm gonna just guess that you don't like too many sci fi or fantasy films, Blzer.

I'll post my Blu-ray collection soon enough. You'll get a good understanding of my favorite kinds of movies.

I am looking forward to this either way, probably because of Nolan's influence and Snyder's craft. I was just answering Leon's question.

I just get the sense that you prefer a technological background to things as opposed to the supernatural.

Pretty much. I was surprised to see how many people liked Routh as Superman. I just...couldn't.

To go off this it's one of the reasons I like Superman I think, he was born with his powers and most of the time just wants to be a normal guy. As opposed to many other heroes when it's the opposite.

Re: Superman Man Of Steel

Pretty much. I was surprised to see how many people liked Routh as Superman. I just...couldn't.

For me he had the Reeve look and mannerisms down pat that made him a perfect fit for the role if your going to continue off of the first two films.
